First Love

It's the soap kind of smell that I like :p

First Love smells just like almond and honey or milk and honey body lotion. It is a lovely, mild, and calming scent akin to bath and body products moreso than how you'd imagine a perfume.

I can see why I didn't like it at store.I always run from ylang-ylang and peony and both of them are here.but I should confess I like the bottle very much,specially the color. it's not classic like other van cleef perfumes,but it follows the same line. the smelling is very warm,not very feminine and somehow dark. I don't think girls who fall in love for the first time,wear this one!but maybe it's suitable for the souvenir of first love(which wasn't that successful),just as a reminder of that time. I should confess that I like orchid and the dry down of vanilla in it.

At the beginning it smells great- very subtle and elegant. Not too sweet despite vanilla. I love the way the orchid and vanilla combine here. However, after some time it starts smelling like soap... :/

I wanted to try first love for a while now, since I wasn't much into the original. But was surprised how premier bouquet differed from the original like night and day and I supposed this one would too. With that I'm quite attracked towards purple bottles, so I gave it a try on a piece of paper... The first thing I thought of: GLÜHWEIN! Yes, sweet warm wine with a piece of citrus drifting in it and some spices added. I thought: 'lovely for winter', and had put the piece of paper in my pocket. A few hours later I was reaching for my keys in my pocket and found that same piece of paper and smelled it again. Though this time, first love had turned into: first make-up! Do you girls remember your first make-up box in the shape of a heart which had rouge and eyeshadow in it, so you could turn into a princess? Well, this is exactely it! I don't know how it turns out on the skin, but when I had let my mom smell the piece of paper even she recognized little-girls-make-up in it! The smell is not at all bad... But as you may have noticed, my associations are just too strong for wanting to wear it.
